1 The Lord told Moses, “Go and speak to Pharaoh. Tell him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Let my people go, so that they can worship me.2 If you refuse to let them go and keep holding onto them,3 I will punish you by bringing a very severe plague on your livestock—on your horses, donkeys, camels, herds, and flocks.4 But the Lord will distinguish between the livestock of the Israelites and the Egyptians, so that none of those belonging to the Israelites will die.’5 The Lord has set a time, saying, ‘Tomorrow this is what is going to happen here in the country.’”

6 The following day the Lord did what he had said. All the Egyptians' livestock died, but not a single animal belonging to the Israelites died.7 Pharaoh sent out officials and discovered that not a single one of the Israelites' livestock had died. But Pharaoh was stubborn, and he would not let the people leave.
